Did a 50 mile ride on the CB1100 yesterday, felt so good to be on a motorcycle after 2 weeks in San Diego and bike-less.
Today, the DR650 and the forest calls me. In about 35 minutes, I can get "lost".

As I was heading back, a momma black bear entered the forest service road, about 30 meters in front of me. She contorted her body, first looking at me then at the edge of the road. 2 cute cubs scrambled after her and they disappeared into the undergrowth on the other side. A very good way to finish up the ride, about 45 miles on non-pavement.
